When the paper end mark appears on the paper, replace the roll paper before it runs out. WARNING PShut down your equipment immediately if it produces smoke, a strange odor, or unusual noise. Immediately unplug the equipment and contact your dealer for advice. PNever attempt to repair this product yourself. Improper repair work can be dangerous. PNever disassemble or modify this product. Tampering with this product may result in injury, fire, or electric shock. PDuring and immediately after printing, the area around the print head is very hot. Do not touch it, as you could be burned. CAUTION P We recommend that you unplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan to use it for long periods. Because of this, you should locate the printer so that the power outlet it is plugged into is nearby and easy to access. P If the voltage shown on the label on the of your printer does not match the voltage for your area, contact your dealer immediately. P Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the AC outlet and that the computer is turned off before making connections. P Do not connect a telephone line into the modular connector. PDo not pull out paper while the printer cover is closed. PIf liquids, foreign objects (coins and paper clips), and so on enter the printer, turn off the printer, unplug it from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer for advice. Continued use could cause a short circuit, which may result in fire or electric shock. – – 2-4. Maintenance Essentially, your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treated with a modicum of care in order to avoid malfunctions. For example: 1.Keep your printer in a “comfortable” environment. Roughly speaking, if you feel comfortable, then the environment is suitable for your printer. 2.Do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration. 3. Avoid over-dusty environments. Dust is the enemy of all precision mechanical devices. 4. To clean the exterior of the printer, use a cloth barely dampened with either water with a little detergent or a little alcohol, but do not allow any liquid to fall inside the printer. 5. The interior of the printer may be cleaned with a small cleaner or a compressed-air aerosol (sold for this purpose). When performing this operation, be sure not to bend or damage any cable connections or electronic components. – – 3. Part Identification anD Nomenclature 3-1.
